Biological function summary

ACOT9 participates in the regulation of lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. It does not form part of a known complex but performs a stand-alone role in converting activated fatty acids into their free form and CoA. This process contributes to the balance between synthesis and degradation of lipids impacting energy production and storage. ACOT9's action influences cellular metabolic states and can adapt them depending on the energy requirement of the organism.

Pathways

ACOT9 plays an important role in the peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation pathways. In these pathways it interacts with enzymes such as Acyl-CoA oxidase and Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I facilitating the breakdown of long-chain fatty acids. ACOT9's hydrolytic activity helps reduce the build-up of acyl-CoA intermediates which is essential for maintaining cellular energy balance and supporting metabolic flexibility during fasting or exercise.
